Eighteen games into his seventh season on the bench in D.C., Davey Martinez earned his 400th win as a manager on Wednesday night, in a 2-0 win in Dodger Stadium, where the Washington Nationals won the 2nd of 3 with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the series.

When he got back to the clubhouse after the win, he was feted with a beer shower in the visitors’ clubhouse.
